Chapter 175 Returning to the city to take care of my brothers (1)
【Your application complies with the reimbursement process. 】
[Even if it's just our two teams that encounter Xiao Ma and his team, the supplies we spent on them due to an emergency can be reimbursed after we return.]
【What’s more, you are a member of the masses. We cannot take even a single needle or thread from the masses. We should not take advantage of the masses. 】
[Okay, Sister Cao, I'll look through the account book first.]
Ye Nai's skillful accounting habits continued even after she started living independently. After she got a computer, she directly made spreadsheets. She had their own general and sub-sheets for money and things. When Sister Cao asked her to make a reimbursement, she would finish the spreadsheet and send it to her in less than half an hour.
After a while, Sister Cao replied.
[You are very careful in accounting. This is a good habit. Do you want money or things? ]
[Which one is more convenient? ]
[Of course it is convenient to pay. 】
[Then I'll convert it into cash. I'll go back to the city tomorrow to restock and stay in the city for a few days.]
【Okay, have fun. 】
Before going to bed, Ye Na took a look at the rat mountain in the space. The mycelium had skinned and gutted all the wild rats, big and small, as she requested. On one side was the rat skin mountain, and on the other side was the skinless rat mountain.
The rat skins are all clean and can be tanned right after being handed over to the craftsmen. The cavity of the rat carcass is also clean, without a drop of blood. It can be rinsed with water and then chopped into pieces and cooked in a pot.
She remembered what Brother Peng said about male rat meat not being tasty, and ordered the male and female rats to be separated.
I don’t know if it is still possible to tell the male and female of these skinless mice, but I’ll try it anyway. It’s free.
I hid in the bed with my phone plugged in, wanting to check out the forum again. But as soon as I opened the forum, I couldn't help feeling sleepy, so I had to put the phone down and go to sleep.
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Ye Nai, who had a good sleep, cleared out her belongings and set out for the city while it was cool in the morning and there were few cars on the road.
It was a fast car ride, but safe because the spores were scattered around to help her find out the road conditions.
Halfway through the journey, a minor car accident occurred ahead, blocking the road. She knew about it when she was a thousand meters away, so she slowed down in advance and joined the traffic jam at the section where the accident occurred.
It is the morning rush hour and the traffic is jammed. The traffic police can only maintain order and ask the drivers behind to wait patiently until the injured driver is rescued and the cars are moved away so that the road can be clear.
The cars that collided were all small cars, with their front ends facing each other. The drivers were trapped and the ambulance was on standby, just waiting for the fire department to cut open the car doors.
The drivers stuck in traffic around were all wondering what happened, why such a severe crash so early in the morning.
Some guessed that the driver was drunk, some guessed that he was driving while fatigued, and some guessed that he was suffering from road rage by cutting in line. These people, who didn't know each other at all, were chatting quite enthusiastically.
After they finished talking about the car accident, they talked about gossips in the entertainment and sports circles, and then someone talked about gossips around them. The topic got out of hand, and each one was more explosive than the last. I don't know if the gossipers were too stifling, and they just told everything. Some of the gossips were so extreme that they would end up in court if they were investigated a little deeper.
But there are strangers around anyway, so just treat it as a story, it doesn’t matter whether it is true or not.
Ye Na listened attentively for dozens of minutes until the road was cleared again. Just then, someone was talking about the latest gossip in the entertainment industry. He described it so vividly, as if he was hiding under the bed and saw it with his own eyes.
I was listening with great interest when the road was cleared and the drivers started their cars one after another, and the gossip that I had been talking about ended.
Ye Nai held her breath, controlled the speed of the motorcycle to the upper limit, rushed to the city as soon as possible, and checked into the best hotel. The first thing she did after closing the door was to take out her cell phone to search for the entertainment gossip. She wanted to see what it was all about.
It's true, there's everything on the Internet. Powerful netizens have already sorted out the context of the matter. There are also special entertainment bloggers who put a big white board in the video and explain the cause and process of the incident in detail. The result is not out yet. At present, the best result is that the male protagonist will go to jail for ten years and the female protagonist will have to pay back taxes. Whether she will go to jail or not depends on the follow-up attitude.
What is making a big fuss now is that the fans of the male protagonist are complaining about their injustice, thinking that it is unfair. Why should their brother have to go to jail for ten years while the female protagonist only has to pay enough money? So they are jumping around on the Internet, crying and complaining, saying that the man and woman were charged with the same crime but different crimes, and that it is gender discrimination. The incident has gone viral and has attracted a lot of scolding from passers-by.
Ye Na was like a melon-eating civet, shuttling back and forth among the melon fields. After reading the text, she watched the video, feeling refreshed. She ate the melon with great satisfaction and had a good appetite for lunch.
After dinner, she did not rest, but rode her bike to the junior high school where her younger brothers attended in the midday sun.
The timing of her return this time was a bit coincidental. It was already late June, and she could not quite remember when her junior high school final exam was, so she asked the security guard and learned that the exam was next Monday. Today was Friday, so school would end early, and the school gates would be locked at five in the afternoon. Only then did she feel at ease to go to the wholesale market.
It was noon, the weather was hot, and there were few people visiting the market, so Ye Nai rode his electric scooter back and forth on the narrow road, mainly visiting the medical supplies market, as those medicines and consumables were used up very quickly.
She had a junior first aid certificate and was rich, so she bought all kinds of medical equipment, consumables and medicines within the upper limit of the quantity that a first aid worker could buy.
When you have bought enough at one store, go to another store and continue buying.
Instruments and consumables are easy to deal with, there are no restrictions, but medicines are more troublesome. Some medicines are placed in cold storage and need to be kept refrigerated at all times. This even includes probiotics. Fortunately, her space can keep them fresh and accommodate them.
But, as Brother Peng said, there was no need to let outsiders know too much. On her way to the medical supplies market, she also wholesaled a bunch of takeout insulated boxes and ice packs to cover up these medicines.
The shop assistant always likes to chat with customers. Seeing that Ye Na bought a lot and only used an insulated box, he couldn't help but remind her.
Ye Na nodded in agreement with the other party, indicating that it would only take two hours and there was a refrigerated truck waiting outside.
The clerk imagined that this was a group of people shopping separately and then gathering in the refrigerated truck, so he didn't say anything more.
The clerk had a normal expression on his face about the spatial ability displayed by Ye Na, and was not surprised. After all, he had seen it a lot. The wholesale market was where those with spatial awakenings gathered.
Ye Nai spent most of the afternoon replenishing medical supplies. When she left, she passed by the luggage market and bought a cross-body chest bag from a roadside stall to carry her cell phone.
The rugged phone was thick and big, and she couldn’t put it in her thin summer clothes even when wearing men’s trousers. She couldn’t receive messages if she put it in her space, so she had to put it in her bag.
The grocery market is near the entrance of the wholesale market, and she went in and bought several hundred kilograms of salt and sugar.
When I was almost at the school on my electric scooter, I saw some students coming out with backpacks on their backs, and adults who looked like parents carrying their children's spare clothes in their hands.
